Glam up your eyes

With summer and fall behind us, we’re heading into gala and party season. And that means getting glammed up with shiny evening dresses and make-up.

Here’s some tips on making your eyes stand out - one of the first things people will notice about you.

Long lush eyelashes can make your eyes pop. So how do you get them? We’re all aware of how aging impacts the skin, but did you know that aging can also affect your eyelashes? As we age, lashes can become thinner, shorter and lighter, beginning in our 20s and 30s.

Enter LATISSE, a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, and only available through your physician or at medical spas. Gradually, the results come in. More length may start appearing in as little as 4 weeks, with full growth achieved in 16 weeks. Perfect timing for the upcoming party season!

To make the most of your longer, lusher lashes, add a denser looking lash-line by lifting the area under the brow up and outward, then close your eye, exposing the lash line. Then, with these tricks from Scott Patric - ‘etch it along, don’t draw a continuous line, using short strokes, all the while pushing the eye pencil in between your lashes at the root.” Replace black eyeliner, which can look harsh, with a dark grey or espresso shade. Avoid under eye liner as it emphasizes dark circles.

Now that you’ve got gorgeous lashes, finish the look off. To get an instant wide awake look, place some light cream shadow on the inner corner of the eye. Apply concealer under the eyes after eyeshadow and mascara.
